40+, Single, Fixed and Employed

May 3rd, 2006 § 3

OK, this is moot. But funny.

“I”m a head-case.”

My most recent rant didn’t generate anywhere near the number of comments I expected. (blogger-depression-rant deleted here:)

Yes, it’s true, I’m 42, no alimony, no child support (no children), no ex-wife, no serious girlfriend these days. My mostly married-with-two-point-five-kids co-workers consider me the “catch of a lifetime.” It’s embarassing.

I parted with a pair of older (and admittedly lighter) tele boots this winter. I sort of forgot about dropping them off for consignment. Heavy VT rains finally urged me to take advantage of my consignment store credit to hook up a new rain shell. Commuted in harmony with the deluge this week. We had a steady VT style rain squall for my (almost all downhill) shred home on Tuesday. I even remembered my “Flandrian” set-up with the faded-not-TOO-smelly-Syncros short bill cycling cap looking very euro-wannabe-dork and functioning brilliantly at keeping my eyeglasses from becoming a rain and mud Pollock. I think the cycling cap under the helmet with (not sunglasses but) eyeglasses is the coolest uber-geek commuter-shredder look. That was supreme fun. Riding in the rain with the right gear is, for me…ummm umm good!

OK. Annoyingly excessive vernacular-implying-hyphenation.

Vulture is shipped. Full Pavlov.

Can’t wait to build….

(Jaw’s theme….)

Anyone have a shark-fin that’ll fit on m’helmet? Even to borrow for a few photos?

Aight.

    Fixed/Free at least for now. I had just converted my first Vulture when I crashed it into the frame round-up in the sky. =(

    Man, I would have been all “Right on!” to that post if I’d only seen it sooner. I’m working on switching over to a feed-reader, though, so hopefully I’ll be able to follow everything more easily; and in a more timely fashion!
